Back Talk Danielle Lazarin Blackfriars

\'Beautifully crafted\' New York Times\'The best collection I\'ve read in years, from a phenomenal new talent\' Celeste NgFrom an award-winning writer, a stunning collection of stories about women\'s unexpressed desires and needs, and the unexpected ways they resurface.In \'Floor Plans\', a woman at the end of her marriage tests her power when she inadvertently befriends the neighbor trying to buy her apartment. In \'Appetite\', a sixteen-year old grieving her mother\'s death experiences first love and questions how much more heartbreak she and her family can endure. In \'Dinosaurs\', a recent widower and a young babysitter help each other navigate how much they have to give -and how much they can take - from the people around them. Through stories that are at once empathetic and unexpected, these women and girls defiantly push the boundaries between selfishness and self-possession. With a fresh voice and bold honesty, Back Talk examines how narrowly our culture allows women to express their desires. Σελίδες: 256, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0529, Διαστάσεις: 19.9x19.9cm
